This resolution would direct the Kentucky Department of Education to study ways to expand student access to free and reduced-price school meals at schools that participate in federal lunch and breakfast programs. It does not change current meal policies but calls for a formal review and report on how access could be broadened. The study could help inform future decisions about feeding students who qualify based on financial need. Who it may affect: students from low-income families, parents, and public school communities across Kentucky.
